You're belittling the value of such a project by suggesting it would only be useful for those "unable" to cope with wiki syntax. I have no problems with it, but I suspect I would be faster editing directly with word,
This conflates a different issue, and I'd like to haul it up into the light:
"editing directly with Word..."
Any work-cycle which entails pulling part or all of a page out from an active wiki into a PC-based external editor will have lag-time/edit collision issues which will increase in importance proportionally to the traffic on the wiki.
This is to say that you might get away with it on a small to medium intranet wiki, but I don't expect it would be a practical approach to Wikipedia.
